Abstract :
Space-time adaptive processing (STAP) is well-known for clutter suppression in monostatic radar with a multi-channel array antenna. Application to bistatic radar has been discussed recently by a few authors. The present author focuses on the effect of range and Doppler ambiguities that occurs in bistatic radar. It is shown how degradation in moving target detection caused by ambiguities can be mitigated
